A balancing act: how plants integrate nitrogen and water signals
(Oxford University Press, 2020-07-25)
Nitrogen (N) and water (W) are crucial inputs for plant survival as well as costly resources for agriculture. Given their importance, the molecular mechanisms that plants rely on to signal changes in either N or W status ...
Draft Genome Sequence of Blautia luti DSM 14534(T), Isolated from Human Stool
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020-05)
Here, we report the draft sequence of Blautia luti strain DSM 14534T, originally isolated from human feces. This draft contains 74 contigs, comprising 3,718,760 bp with a G+C content of 42.87%. The annotated draft contains ...
Interfering with the Folding of Group A Streptococcal pili Proteins
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020-05-20)
Gram-positive bacteria use their adhesive pili to attach to host cells during early stages of a bacterial infection. These extracellular hair-like appendages experience mechanical stresses of hundreds of picoNewtons; ...
NOTCH3 Gene Mutation in a Chilean Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy Family
(ELSEVIER, 2020)
Introduction: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a rare hereditary stroke disorder caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. We report the first Chilean ...
Evaluation of the Abundance of DNA-Binding Transcription Factors in Prokaryotes
(MDPI, 2020)
The ability of bacteria and archaea to modulate metabolic process, defensive response, and pathogenic capabilities depend on their repertoire of genes and capacity to regulate the expression of them. Transcription factors ...
Transcriptomic analysis at organ and time scale reveals gene regulatory networks controlling the sulfate starvation response ofSolanum lycopersicum
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)
Background Sulfur is a major component of biological molecules and thus an essential element for plants. Deficiency of sulfate, the main source of sulfur in soils, negatively influences plant growth and crop yield. The ...
Understanding gold toxicity in aerobically-grown Escherichia coli
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)
Background There is an emerging field to put into practice new strategies for developing molecules with antimicrobial properties. In this line, several metals and metalloids are currently being used for these purposes, ...
Partitioning beta-diversity reveals that invasions and extinctions promote the biotic homogenization of Chilean freshwater fish fauna
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)
Aim Exotic species' introductions together with extinction of native species represent the main mechanisms driving biotic homogenization of freshwater fish assemblages around the world. While generally ichtyofaunistic ...
A dynamic portal for a community-driven, continuously updated classification of Fungi and fungus-like organisms: outlineoffungi.org
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)
The website http://outlineoffungi.org, is launched to provide a continuous up-to-date classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi) and fungus-like taxa. This is based on recent publications and on the outline ...
Gene Regulatory Networks of Penicillium echinulatum 2HH and Penicillium oxalicum 114-2 Inferred by a Computational Biology Approach
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-10)
Penicillium echinulatum 2HH and Penicillium oxalicum 114-2 are well-known cellulase fungal producers. However, few studies addressing global mechanisms for gene regulation of these two important organisms are available so ...
